I've noticed in the last month or two that my computer clock starts to lag behind the real time. This is a fairly new computer, so I don't think it's an issue with the batteries.
I had xntpd installed, and when I'd run /etc/init.d/xntpd restart, it'd set the time correctly. Then within 5 or 10 minutes, it'd start to lag behind again. After a day or so, it'd be behind by around 30 minutes. I disabled xntpd, thinking that had something to do with it. Unfortunately, it still loses time within a matter of minutes.
The weird thing is, when I click on the KDE clock and reset the time, it fills in the CORRECT time automatically. It's as if it knows the correct time, but won't display it. Very weird--this almost sounds like some kind of insidious virus or something. Anybody have any clues?
SAME THING HERE! I mentioned this about a week ago and it seems that it is/was due to a SuSE upgrade. I absolutely set the time to US_Chicago and "localtime" not UTC. However, if I set the time via the internet or manually it is reset back 6 hours when I shutdown the machine. Reboot and the time is off by 6 hours.
